Meetings

The Leander ISD Board typically meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. Until further notice, all Board meetings will be held at Support Services, 1900 Cougar Country, Cedar Park.

The first scheduled meeting each month is a Board work session, with the second meeting set aside for action on pending issues. All Leander ISD Board of Trustees meetings begin at 6:15 p.m. Agendas for all board meetings are posted at the LISD Central Office 72 hours prior to each meeting. Additional meetings may be scheduled with 72 hours notice.

NOTE: The Leander ISD Board of Trustees will usually meet once in the month of December due to the Christmas holidays. The summer schedule for board meetings may also change, so please check the district calendar for details.

The Leander ISD's Board of Trustees meets twice each month, normally on the first and third Thursdays. The first-Thursday meeting is the monthly Workshop Meeting, where posted items are discussed with staff providing presentations and data on these agenda items. The third-Thursday Board Meeting is where most action items are voted upon, and where student and staff achievements are recognized.These meetings begin at 6:15 p.m. and the LISD Board provides an opportunity for Citizen Comments at each regular board meeting.

Please note that Citizen Comments are an opportunity for parents and community members to share their thoughts and concerns on education issues and district operations. They are not a back-and-forth discussion with the Board, which - by law - may only deliberate on items posted on the meeting agenda. Specific personnel issues are not to be discussed during Citizen Comments, but should instead be taken up with the employee's immediate supervisor.

The Leander ISD Board of Trustees has adopted the following to facilitate the Citizen Comments process:

Citizen Comments will normally be held at or near 7:00 p.m.

Parents and community members wishing to speak should sign up to do so at the board meeting prior to the 7:00 p.m. time for Citizen Comments. We ask that each speaker sign up personally.

Each speaker will be limited to three (3) minutes. Parents/community members may not "donate" their time to another speaker.

The Board discourages the use of PowerPoint presentations. If you feel that a PowerPoint is essential, please provide it to District staff by 6:00 p.m. so that it may be downloaded on the computer and ready for Citizen Comments without delaying others' speaking opportunities.

If you are bringing a written statement or support materials, please provide copies for the seven Board members and the superintendent.

The LISD Board seeks to conduct their meetings in a polite, professional manner and would appreciate Citizen Comments being shared in a similar fashion.
